Table 4: Supported AWS Services
| Supported AWS services |
|---|
| EC2: Launches ADC instances. |
| Lambda: Invokes NetScaler VPX NITRO APIs during provisioning of NetScaler VPX instances from CFT. |
| VPC and VPC ingress routing: VPC creates isolated networks in which ADC can be launched. VPC ingress routing is used in the firewall load balancing solution. |
| Route53: Distributes traffic across all the NetScaler VPX nodes in the NetScaler Autoscale solution. |
| ELB: Distributes traffic across all the NetScaler VPX nodes in the NetScaler Autoscale solution. |
| Cloudwatch: Monitors performance and system parameters for NetScaler VPX instance. |
| AWS Autoscaling: Used for back-end server autoscaling. |
| Cloud formation: CloudFormation templates are used to deploy NetScaler VPX instances. |
| Simple Queue Service (SQS): Monitors scale up and scale down events in back-end autoscaling. |
| Simple Notification Service (SNS): Monitors scale up and scale down events in back-end autoscaling. |
| Identity and Access Management (IAM): Provides access to AWS services and resources. |
| AWS Outposts: Provisions NetScaler VPX instances in AWS Outposts. |
NetScaler recommends the following AWS instance types:
- M6i and C5n series for marketplace editions or bandwidth-based pool licensing.
| VPX with Pooled or Flexed licensing (Bandwidth licenses) | Recommended AWS instance |
|---|---|
| Up to 200 Mbps | m6i.xlarge |
| 1–5 Gbps | m6i.2xlarge |
| 5–8 Gbps | c5n.4xlarge |
| 8–25 Gbps | c5n.9xlarge |
To determine the right instance for your specific needs based on metrics such as packets per second or SSL transaction rates, contact your NetScaler representative for guidance.
